Audio Plays Based On The Novels
The audio play publisher Maritim produced new audio plays based on the first four novels by H.G. Francis. These appeared under the name Das Sternentor, since Europa still holds the rights of the name Commander Perkins. The fifth audio play was to appear in October 2005 but the demise of one of the starring actors delayed production. They were announced for July or August 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words plays, based and/or novels:
“Shaw’s plays are the price we pay for Shaw’s prefaces.”
—James Agate (1877–1947)
“This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
